Apartment was nice, large, all mod cons and wooden floors in bedrooms.
Pool area was also nice, not really a place to swim laps but good use of space. Friendly staff also.
Smallish but adequate gym.
We ate from room service a few times, ok but nothing special. But given closeness to restaurants, supermarkets nearby, not an issue.
Service was fine, every issue was taken care of. Would certainly come here again since quality matches the other 5 star apartments, but price is much better with minimal difference in location.

We stayed here at the end of our trip to Beijing and Vietnam and it was the perfect place to end our holiday. We had a huge apartment with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, lounge / diner, kitchen and utility room with washer and driver. Amazing value for around ¬£90 a night, including breakfast.
The apartments are in a complex with hotel style reception, lovely swimming pool, gym, games room, mini cinema and restaurant. Everything you could want really. It was so nice to come in from the heat and noise of Saigon and relax.
The buffet breakfast was pretty good, with lots of different food options, both Western and Asian. The tea and coffee could have been better but was acceptable. Staff were friendly and attentive and very professional.
The hotel is about 5-10 mins in a taxi from downtown but there are still plenty of places, including some good restaurants, within a 10 min walk, and the war remnants museum and puppet theatre are also within walking distance. In any case taxis are easy to catch and very cheap. Do use Vinasun and not other firms - we took one and were completely ripped off.
Saigon is a very vibrant place. Not packed full of attractions, but some very nice French colonial buildings, some interesting modern skyscrapers and lots of restaurants, cafes and shops.

It was pretty upsetting because I imagined District 3 to be really far away from everything. I landed up at Mayfair anyway, so they could transport me to Sherwood. A short wait later, a very courteous staff member and driver escorted me to Sherwood, where my friend and I were upgraded to a gorgeous and supremely spacious 3BHK apartment. The property also has a pool and restaurant, so we were absolutely set. I spent my first day just decompressing and relaxing at Sherwood. We had two comfortable bathrooms with tubs, two tellys and prompt room service. Everything I ordered was pretty tasty. However, I realised only later in my trip that the Vietnamese milk coffee they served was very so-so compared to what I had at other places.
That apart, I relaxed enough to take the rest of my trip on with vigour!

We were upgraded to a 3 bedroom suite which was spacious, clean, well-furnished. Full, compact kitchen, washing machine and dryer, two televisions with English language channels, power points took Australian plugs without using a conversion plug.
Location was brilliant - very close to District One and 5 minutes walk to the War Remnants museum and another 5 minutes to the Reunification Palace. The Co-Op supermarket was a minute away - walk past the pool, out the back gate, across the road and turn left (it's just around the corner). Crossing this road was not too difficult. There is also a Lotteria for fussy children like mine (Western style fried chicken and chips) next to the Co-Op. There are also many authentic Vietnamese restaurants within walking distance.
The pool area was pleasant - an abundance of available pool lounges in full sun or under cover and a large pool partially under cover.
Breakfast was very good although there always seemed to be a shortage of cutlery. High tea is a complimentary service from 2:00 - 4:00pm with a small selection of fruit, pastries, iced tea, tea and coffee.
Free shuttle bus left every hour. My only complaint was that the driver didn't stop at any of the designated stops before reaching the market. We had planned to disembark at Lucky Plaza but he drove straight past. It would be helpful if he could check where passengers wanted to get off.
Janet Fitzner, the General Manager, maintained a strong presence throughout the hotel.
We initially stayed on the 3rd floor overlooking the rear of the hotel. Night time construction at an adjacent property was very loud and we were moved to a higher level overlooking the front.

It is a short taxi ride or bus ride to any part of the city. Vena sun taxis are highly recommended. There is always one within a few minutes, the metered fare is reasonable. All you need is give your driver the exact address, prefably an image on your phone of the address in Vietnamese. There is also a free shuttle on the hour between Sherwood and various parts of the city. Paul Myeza.

Shuttle to district one attractions was helpful. Hotel itself is beautifully decorated even if apartments themselves are a little sparse. Used gym and pool area and both really good quality. Breakfast was basic but fine for price of room. Would recommend for families for sure.

Taxis are available very freely but as adviced all around i repeat for your information that you should take ONLY vinasun taxis as they are safe and don't cheat. just behind the hotel is a supermarket to pickup all that you want for your stay here. (back entrance through the poolside and on the left of the exit). Ben Thanh market is also fun for the shopaholics. the outside periphery has government notified shops that generally do not bargain and are very fair priced compared to the inner shops where you really need to aggressively bargain.
Staff : very courteous and friendly.
Food : the food is good. We ordered a bit of the room service. The buffet breakfast was standard but nice tasting. a better spread than most other places.
Rooms : the room we had was very nicely done up and big with all that you would expect. They have a swimming pool and gym but did not use it.

Currently here with our family in a 3 bedroom executive. It's large and clean with bottled water provided daily in room. The staff are very few friendly from the guys outside who call you a taxi to the cleaning folks upstairs. Our room has a full bathroom and an ensuite off the master. All spacious rooms with lots of storage space and laundry room.
Breakfast is decent with a small continental selection and obviously Asian fare. There is a weekday 2 to 4pm free snacks time as well and we're told on Saturday there is popcorn and fruits pool- side. It's located within 10 to 15 minutes walking distance to many nteresting places for tourists. Note that it is perfectly acceprable here for motorbikes to just drive up on the sidewalks with no regards to your safety as well as run red lights when it is clear you have the green to walk.
There is a cute bistro directly across the front entrance and a very local grocery store out the back...note it does smell so perhaps not where you want to take kids as they will want to leave immediately before you shopped! Not easy to find what are staples for us like oats and natural yogurt for example. We found the Annam grocery chain to be better although ridiculously expensive for imported stuff.
For families and maybe one of the reasons we would not consider staying here again when we visit HCMC is that the pool is freezing most of the time..at least at this time. We had already heard this from friends who visited but didn't really believe them!!
It's mostly shaded which is great but it doesn't get sun to heat it making it uncomfortable for our kids who refuse to spend time in the pool and that is unlike them!
Also note that other than the indoor playroom there is no outdoor grass area garden or anywhere for kids to let off steam. So choose it for the central location and great staff and rooms being fully aware if you have "lively" kids they may feel cooped up.
There is a fantastic public park behind the Palace and about 15 minutes walk with kids from here so that is an option. There is also a green space of sorts out the back door about 5 minutes away.
Some things to note when ordering from the restaurant..maybe dissapointing given the hotel's overall standard. Out of the 3 meals we ordered 2 had ingredients that were not on the menu. The surprise was getting our "pepperoni" pizza which was correctly described on the menu and getting it full of red and green peppers. Not pleasant when you've come back from a full morning of park play with young children who just want what should have been a simple order.
Anyway it's a great place but just note the above especially if traveling with young children.

The apartment is big and spacious, the furniture and amenities are also simple and modern. Perfect for long stayer. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need for cooking, (induction stove, freezer, microwave, toaster, knives, chopping board, scissors) but do buy your own dish washing liquid and sponge. There is a Co-op Supermarket located just outside the hotel, but selection for fresh food and international ingredients can be quite limited. The entire apartment was well maintained we did not have any complaints.
The hotel also has complimentary afternoon tea but do not expect too much from it, still, it was a nice gesture.
Would definitely recommend this place to any big groups on a budget stay in Ho Chi Minh.

We only asked them to deliver the application sheet for school bus to our apartment, and they never delivered it; they wanted us to get it by our own.

The staff are pleasant and their English is good. The hotel runs a shuttle service every 1 hour to ben thand market etc. Lots of security at the hotel. We were shown to the apartment which was on the first floor at the front of the hotel, I was concerned due to noise but the bedrooms were well insulated. The road outside is quite busy with the usual saigon beeping of horns. Seemingly we had been upgraded from a 2 bed to a 3 bed, The apartment was a bit worn, imagine some old school desks there was actually one in the main bathroom. The main bedroom had a tv, ensuite and lots of wardrobe space. We had an issue with the a/c but it was fixed very quickly. The kitchen wasn't big but we didn't really need to use it much other than keeping water and drinks cold in the fridge. Handy to have a washing machine and dryer in the apartment to wash clothes etc. There is a co op at the rear of the hotel to buy whatever you need or have forgotten.
the let down was the limited breakfast which was just satisfactory, limited fruit no apples/ bananas or grapes, cereal was limited to rice krispies, corn flakes or granola/cornflake mix. Pastries were the same everyday didnt try the Vietnamese options. We stayed for a week and it did get repetitive.
Unfortunately the pool was cold also, half of the pool is covered but even with temps exceeding 35C I would have expected it to be a little warmer.
always a vinasun taxi at the front it usually took less than 50,000 vnd to get anywhere
Ideal for my family, and would probably return again.

We loved our stay. We stayed in a 3 bedroom which was large and spacious and comfortable. The layout was a bit odd. But it had everything we needed. The games room was fabulous for the kids. After a day of tours or shopping in the hot sun, kids came back to play billards, Xbox, swim or table tennis. It helped all of us have a relaxing time.

Sherwood ResidenceExcellent alternative to a hotel

The Sherwood residence provided us with luxury accommodation as a cost effective alternative to a 5 star hotel . The apartment we were given was spacious, well appointed and serviced regularly by very courteous and professional staff. The pool was good, the children's playground excellent and we could not have been better treated. Highly recommended. Free shuttle bus to the city attractions and plentiful taxis in between services.

While the place itself is nice enough, the staff was horribly rude to us. After returning to the hotel we had guests with us that needed to pick up a bag from our room. They said our guests needed ID's, but we told them it would literally take just 5 minutes to grab the bag. They began to yell at us and embarrass both us and our guests in front of other customers. The duty manager (Duong) began making threatening movements towards us and threatened to call security/police.

We were a little disappointed with the Sherwood. The appartment was perfectly fine for our family, however, the pool and surrounding area was a let down. It was very noisy - not a good place to relax after the bustle of the city.
The breakfast was also expensive and very mediocre. Plus side is location - it's in a good spot to get around HCM
I would not stay here again

With the introdution of our friends, we stayed here 3 days and we were happy with our choice.
Friendly and professional services. Our children loved this hotel so much with the friendly staffs. Ready to help us when we needed information.
The room was big and beatiful and it was not noisy in the evening. Loved it
Thanks again.

We stayed at the Sherwood for 3 nights and loved every minute of it. The staff are so friendly and go out of there way to greet you. The rooms are spotless and spacious.
We were upgraded to a larger room when we arrived. I loved this about Vietnam. If they have better rooms available, they make a point of upgrading you. Such a lovely thing to do.

We were upgraded to a larger room when we arrived. I loved this about Vietnam. If they have better rooms available, they make a point of upgrading you. Such a lovely thing to do. For our money we ended up with a fully loaded kitchen, laundry facilities, a large lounge and dinning room, two bathrooms and three bedrooms on the 7th floor (and a balcony). Everything was of a high quality. Oh, there was a TV in the bedroom and another in the lounge. And the bed... soooo comfortable!
We took the breakfast option and we're glad we did. The chef makes an omelette to die for and there was enough other options to satisfy most tastes.
I loved the wider areas. The entrance is stunning with this beautiful chandelier, statues, a gentle water fall in a pond, crystals and of cause the reception desk, which has these beautiful young people so willing to help. They positively glow.
Taxis were always outside and the hotel also provided a regular shuttle service to the main tourist areas and shopping spots in the City. However, we were so close to it all we walked most of the time.
They have a lovely pool and gym which we did not use as we were so busy seeing the sights of Saigon. Such a beautiful city with amazing people, culture and food.
The WiFi is worth a mention. Of all the hotels I stayed in in Vietnam, the Sherwood Residence had the best connection. This made it so easy to connect with family, watch netflix or YouTube and browse around to find cafes, sites to see and ger directions.
All in all a great experience and I can whole heartily recommend them. Thanks to the staff (especially the front desk, the doorman, the guards, the restaurant and the cleaning staff) of Sherwood Residence who made this leg of our Vietnamese holiday so comfortable.

We stayed at SR for 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The 3 bed apartment was huge and perfect for a family of 5. The washing machine and drier were a very welcome bonus! The location is about a 10 min walk to the main 'hub' but taxis were plentiful and cheap. The pool area is great for kids and the afternoon snacks (free) were an added bonus. There is also a pool room, mini golf, table tennis area which is a fun way to spend an hour and escape the blistering heat. Highly recommend.

The great news though is that the staff were superb, warm, more than willing anytime to help and they greatly enhanced our enjoyment of the stay. Minor gripes- Food wise, the hotel selection could be better and we found the children's playground more suited to toddlers than our 4 year old. Also, the road right outside the hotel is a one way street and the traffic on it could be chaotic. Other than those, we had a good stay and the hotel would be perfect for traveling families

We only stayed here one night using our free night from doing bookings through hotels.com and the apartment we had is bigger than our townhouse. The pool is the largest we've seen and there is a kiddie pool and play area as well. The exercise room has new equipment. The breakfast buffet was decent enough and the service all around excellent. You feel safe and secure here as there is plenty of security and you need to swipe to get into the residences.

Arrived at airport in evening.
First thing found that money is confusing as 1 dollar is worth 22,300 or so Dong.
I wrote down in a pocket notebook common exchange rates which helped i.e. (20,000 = $1,
50,000 = $2.25, 200,000= $9, 500,000 = $23.50 etc). Regarding money I also
copied from a guide book customary amounts to tip for various services.
For taxis exit airport and turn left. Use Mai Linh (green) or Vina Sun (white) taxies
which always have meters and are reliable.
At the hotel you will find the staff courteous and helpful (one thing I did was ask them to change a reasonable amount of the huge Dong bills from ATM‚??s into smaller bills).
A good restaurant in the immediate area is the Runam Bistro directly across the street in front of the hotel.
A large food market is close on the rear side of the hotel. From the elevator walk toward and past the workout room, past the pool and out a gate (take your room key to reenter) walk down a covered walkway, to a sidewalk. Turn left and walk to the corner. Turn right and cross the street, walk straight a little ways and the market will be on your right.
You can walk to restaurants, site seeing and Starbucks but you need to have directions and
best to have a map (easy to get lost). Traffic is very heavy making it difficult to cross streets.
Taxies are a great and inexpensive way to get around.
Best tourist spot is the War Remnants Museum (can spend hours learning so much about Vietnam).
Nearby is a quite nice fish restaurant (Maria‚??s).
A good shopping place is the Ben Thanh market place (what seemed like hundreds of small shops)
The hotel has a pretty good breakfast buffet, lots of seating.
cooked to order eggs (omelets are good) coffee, fruit, bacon, sausage, toast and pastries, etc.
We took a day trip to see the
Cu Chi Tunnel Complex (70 KM NW of Ho Chi Minh)
These tunnels were 250 KM long with places for eating, living, meeting and fighting.
There were 4 levels of tunnels, multiple entrances and exits, many traps and dead ends.
The entrances were many and very well hidden in the forest. Some were death traps.
The complex was not far from an American Air Base.

They help take cAre of my family members who do not speak English or Vietnamese and promises that they'd help find translator if needed.
The only compliant I had was the noise level, there seems to be a remodeling upstairs that creates noises early to mid afternoons ( we were out and about during day so didn't know what's like during the day) and late night (11-midnight) noises really bothered me and my family's sleep. The staff looked into both complaints promptly ( although they did nothing to improve it). Besides that, an excellent choice on both service and and room.
Will return for sure( not personally since I found Vietnam a country that disappoints and depresses me while on vacation). My family loves Vietnam though and will return in a few month.
